Keris Solo for identification

Makes sense, thanks Alan.
What is it then that makes a keris that is tangguh Majapahit worth more than Tuban-Majapahit?
I understand the answer might be due to the belief placed in the meanings, inferences and values behind the tangguh system, but to continue the "what's in a name?" angle, can a possible meaning of Tuban-Majapahit in this context be "a Majapahit-style blade from Tuban", or "a Tuban-style blade from the Majapahit era" , or am I way off?
